Hey Kritopher!

Thank you so much for taking the time to write into the Governor's Office. Governor Haley loves hearing from students, and is glad that you are getting involved in State Government and the community.

I would like to indicate a few things. First, this is primarily a federal issue. Attached you will find a contact sheet for the South Carolina Congressional Delegation, of which I would encourage you to pose the same question to our Delegates. Secondly, legislation could be introduced in the Statehouse to create a state minimum wage. I would contact your state legislators at http://www.scstatehouse.gov/legislatorssearch.php. 

If I can be of further assistance with this matter, please don't hesitate to call me at 803.734.2100.

Sincerely,

Hal Peters

Policy Analyst
